A Roaring Good Time by Margo Fallis Ti PART I he last tourists left Trafalgar Square in the centre of London and went to their hotels with their families. The Square was empty‘. The pigeons flew to nearby windows for the night and the monument with Lord Admiral Nelson on the top, stood alone*. The four bronze lions that sat on the monument, protecting Lord Nelson, were now alone. There were no children who climbed over them. There were no tourists who took numerous photos. It was silent. “Have they all gone?” asked Albert. Susan looked around, “Nobody.” “Here too,” said Beatrice. “Then let’s go and have some fun!” called Edward. The four lions came to life\ as they did every night at this time. They stretched their paws'*. It was quite difficult to sit in the same position all day long. “I’ve got an idea about what we can do tonight!” said Beatrice. She was the naughty one of the group. “You know those guards down at Buckingham Palace? They have to stay still. Let’s go there and get one of the guards to move. I’ve thought of a good way to scare‘s them.” “Great!” said Edward. The four bronze lions ran down the Mall, which is the name of the street leading from Trafalgar Square to Buckingham Palace. ‘ was empty — была пустой ^ alone — один, одна, одни came to life — ожили ‘‘ paws — лапы Susan wasn’t quite as naughty as the others. As she went through St James Park, she tried to avoid walking on the flowers. Albert and Edward didn’t care what they walked on. Soon the lions were in front of Buckingham Palace and they jumped over the high fence^. “Come on, we’ll have to be really quiet if we want to scare the guards,” said Beatrice. The lions went towards the guard’s box, which is very close to the palace wall. They saw the guard, who was starding stiff as a board^. Beatrice ran as fast as she could past the guard.

I hate birds. I’m tired of the pigeons which land on me in Trafalgar Square. Let’s go and wake them up,” Beatrice said. “OK, Edward agreed. And can we eat the ravens? I’m rather hungry. Let’s get them.” Edward agreed. The four lions jumped over the gate and ran across the grass towards the White Tower, the main place where the ravens slept. “Mind the guards. They’re called Beefeaters,” Beatrice said. “We’ll have a lot of trouble if they find us here.” “Why on Earth are they called Beefeaters?” Edward asked. “Can we eat them?

Beatrice ran after one of the ravens all around the White Tower. Edward ran after two ravens down to Traitor’s Gate at the River Thames. Albert ran around after a few ravens on the grass.

Suddenly, the lights went on! Sirens^ rang out! The lions saw the Beefeaters, who ran towards them.

His dark purple scales^ kept him warm most of the time, but when the snow fell in winter, he often got very cold. To make matters worse, Fraser didn’t have any friends. None of the other animals in the valley wanted to be friends with a dragon. Fraser spent most of his days cooking and baking. This helped keep his cave a bit warmer. He was quite a good cook too. He made the best caramel shortbread^ in the whole valley. On the 23rd of December, Fraser spent the whole day baking Christmas sweeties. He made fudge'* and cakes, pastries^ and biscuits. “It’s almost Christmas Day. I’ll believe some of the other animals in the valley would enjoy a few Christmas sweets,” he giggled. He divided them into five portions, wrapped** them in red and green striped paper and tied a big golden ribbon^ around them. As soon as the sun set below the hills, Fraser put the packages in a big brown bag and headed into the woods. “This will make their Christmas brighter,” Fraser thought. Even though none of the animals ever spoke to him, he enjoyed being nice to everyone. “Aha, there’s Carly, the highland* cow,” he whispered. She was sleeping. Fraser was a big dragon and he had to be careful that his sharp horns didn’t bump (врезаться) into the tree branches. He had to watch out for his long tail too. Sometimes it knocked over bushes or bumped^ into rocks. Silently he approached. He opened his big brown bag and took out one of the packages. He hung in carefully on Carly’s long horn‘°. He giggled with joy as he flew back into the woods. “Нее, hee, hee. She’ll be surprised when she wakes up!” A few minutes later he noticed Siobhan, the highland sheep. She was standing in a meadow filled with wildflowers. Her thick woof* looked nearly black in the evening sky. “Г11 set the package on her wool. It’s so thick that she’ll never even feel it,” he decided. He crept*^ towards her, taking her package out of his big brown bag. Very carefully, he put it down on her wool and then ran back into the woods. “Нее, hee, hee. She’ll love all the sweets!’ cave — пещера scales — чешуйки shortbread — песочное пирожное fudge — помадка pastries — пирожные wrapped — завернул ribbon — бант UNIT 2 Sections 4 and 5 41 ^^Look at the picture and say what Fraser looks like. 3 J Answer the questions. 1.

When he wakes up, he’ll see his sweets right away.” He went quietly into the woods, giggling the whole time. Harry, the hedgehog, was under a bush. The sharp claws on Fraser’s huge feet nearly hurt the hedgehog as he walked through the woods. “Oops! I almost didn’t see Harry sleeping dovs*n there. Нее, hee, hee. I’ll just put the package down right here in the bush and when he wakes up, he’ll see his sweets.” Fraser took the package out of his big brown bag, put it down in the bush and then went away.

What should I do?” she cried silently. She was too afraid to move because the dragon could see her. She sat frozen with fear in her nest as Fraser came closer and closer. She saw him take something out of a bag. What’s he doing?” she thought. His big hand with sharp claws moved towards her. “He’s going to eat me!” she cried silently, but was surprised when Fraser put a lovely package down on the ground next to her nest. He giggled and went away. “What was that all about?” she wondered. She climbed out of her nest and picked up the package. She took a sniff® of it. “That smells lovely,” she said.

PART III The next morning, Gillian flew around the valley. She saw Carly, Siobhan, Rabbie and Harry who stood talking. She flew down and landed next to them. “What’s going on here?” she asked. Carly said, “In the middle of the night, someone brought a package of sweets to each of us. We don’t know who it was!” Gillian smiled, “I know who it was!” Siobhan asked Gillian, “Tell us. Who would do such a nice thing? I’ve never tasted such delicious shortbread and pastries before.” “It was Fraser, the big purple dragon that lives in the cave. I saw him myself,” Gillian answerecL “Fraser? That clumsy* dragon?” Harry asked. “Surely you’re mistaken,” Rabbie added. clumsy — неуклюжий 44 “No, I saw him. He left me a package too. I think we should do something nice for him. I imagine he must get cold in his cave,” the grouse said. “IVe got a wonderful idea,” Siobhan said. “Let’s use my wool. It’s nice and thick and warm, and we’ll make him a blanket^. You can all knit^ can’t you?” she asked the others. They all nodded"*. They spent the day knitting. When they were done, they sewed each strip together^. “That’s lovely,” Carly said, looking at the finished blanket. “It will keep him warm all winter long.” Rabbie wrapped the blanket in some beautiful silver and gold paper. Harry tied a golden ribbon around it. “Let’s get him a tree too,” Harry said. “I’ll make the decorations if you find the tree.” Carly and Siobhan found a small pine tree. Harry and Rabbie hung nuts and rowan berries^ on it. Gillian used some of her feathers to decorate it. “That’s lovely,” she said. On Christmas Eve, after the sun went down, the five animals carried the tree and the wrapped blanket and set them down outside Fraser’s cave. Christmas morning came around. Fraser was sad. His fingers were cold and his claws were almost frozen like icicles^. His horns had frost on them and he couldn’t feel his tail, which had been lying on the ground. He stood up and went outside. “What’s this?” he said. He picked up the ^ blanket — одеяло ^ knit — вязать package. “It’s a Christmas present,” he laughed. He opened it up. “Oh, a lovely woolen blanket. Who made this?” he wondered. He looked at the tree. “Rowan berries, nuts and feathers. How pretty! It’s the best Christmas tree I’ve ever had!” He went back inside and turned on his oven and started to make himself a Christmas meal. An hour later he heard a noise coming from the entrance (вход) to his cave. “Can we come in?” Carly asked. Fraser was surprised. He had guests on Christmas Day! “Come in, all of you. I’m about to fix supper. Would you like to stay?” he asked. Carly, Siobhan, Rabbie, Harry and Gillian spent the rest of the day in the cave with Fraser, eating his leeks* and potatoes, sausages, bacon, different sweets, raisins and boiled eggs^. “This is the best Christmas I’ve ever had,” he sighed, happily. “Thank you for the blanket. There’ll be no more cold nights for me now.” He noticed that Siobhan didn’t have as much wool as usual and smiled at her. “Merry Christmas to you all,’ he shouted happily. “Merry Christmas to you too, Fraser,” they replied. From then on, the other animals in the valley stopped by Fraser’s cave for tea and caramel shortbread whenever they were nearby and even invited the dragon to their houses, though he was too big to get inside.

О PART I nee upon a time, all the Domestic animals were wild. The Dog was wild, and the Horse was wild, and the Cow was wild, and the Sheep was wild, and the Pig was wild. They lived in the Wet Wild Woods. But the wildest of all the wild animals was the Cat. He walked by himself, and all places were alike to him. Of course, the Man was wild till he met the Woman. She told him that she did not like living in his wild ways. She picked out a nice dry Cave, she strewed* clean sand on the floor, she lit^a nice wood fire at the back of the Cave, and she said, “Now we’ll keep house.” * strewed — насыпала ^ lit — разожгла Out in the Wet Wild Woods, all the wild animals gathered together where they could see the light of the fire a long way off, and they wondered what it meant. Then Wild Horse stamped with his wild foot and said, “O my Friends and О my Enemies, why have the Man and the Woman made that great light in that great Cave, and what harm will it do us?” Wild Dog lifted up’ his wild nose and smelled the smell of roast mutton, and said, “I will go up and see and look, and say; for I think it is good. Cat, come with me.” “No!” said the Cat. “I am the Cat that walks by himself, and all places are alike to me. I will not come.” “Then we can never be friends again,” said Wild Dog, and he trotted off to the Cave. But when he had gone a little way, the Cat said to himself, “All places are alike to me. Why should I not go too and see and look and come away at my own liking.” So he slipped after Wild Dog softly, very softly, and hid himself where he could hear everything. When Wild Dog reached the Cave, he sniffed the beautiful smell of the roast meat, and the Woman looked at him, and laughed, and said, “Here comes the first. Wild Thing out of the Wild Woods, what do you want?” Wild Dog said, “O my Enemy and Wife of my Enemy, what is this that smells so good in the Wild Woods?” Then the Woman threw a bone to Wild Dog, and said, “Wild Thing out of the Wild Woods, taste and try.” Wild Dog ate the bone, and it was more delicious than anything he had ever tasted, and he said, “O my Enemy and Wife of my Enemy, give me another.” The Woman said, “Wild Thing out of the Wild Woods, help my Man to hunt through the day and guard this Cave at night, and I will give you as many bones as you need.” Wild Dog crawled^ into the Cave and laid his head on the Woman’s lap, and said, “O my Friend and Wife of my Friend, I will help Your Man to hunt through the day, and at night I will guard your Cave.” When the Man asked, “What is Wild Dog doing here?” The Woman said, “His name is not Wild Dog any more, but the First Friend, because he will be our friend for always and always and always. Take him with you when you go hunting.” “Ah! This is a very wise Woman, but she is not so wise as I am,” said the Cat. And he went back through the Wet Wild Woods waving his wild tail, and walking by himself But he never told anybody. ^ lifted up — поднял " crawled — вполз Look at the pictures and find the sentences in the text to describe them. 3 I Say who in the text... a) picked out a nice dry Cave, put clean sand on the floor and lit a nice wood fire in the Cave. b) said, “Why have the Man and the Woman made that great light in that great Cave, and what harm will it do us?” c) reached the Cave and sniffed the beautiful smell of the roast meat. d) asked, “What is the Wild Dog doing here?” e) went back through the Wet Wild Woods waving his wild tail. 4 JPut the sentences in the correct order from 1 to 6. __Wild Dog ate the bone, and it was very delicious. __The Cat went back through the Wet Wild Woods and never told anybody. __The Man will take the First Friend with him when he goes hunting.

But he never told anybody. And when the Man and the Horse and the Dog came home from hunting and asked the same questions same as before, the Woman said, “Her name is not Wild Cow any more, but the Giver of Good Food. She will give us the warm white milk for always and always and always, and I will take care of her while you and the First Friend and the First Servant go hunting.” Text В Next night, when the Woman saw Wild Horse before the Cave, she laughed and said, “Here comes the second. Wild Thing out of the Wild Woods, what do you want?” Wild Horse said, “O my Enemy and Wife of my Enemy, where is Wild Dog?” The Woman laughed and said, “Wild Thing out of the Wild Woods, you did not come here for Wild Dog, but for this good grass.” And Wild Horse said, “That is true; give it to me to eat.” The Woman said, “Wild Thing out of the Wild Woods, bend your wild head and wear what I give you, and you shall eat the wonderful grass three times a day.” Wild Horse said, “O my Mistress, and Wife of my Master, I will be your servant for the wonderful grass.” Text C The Woman said, “I knew I was wise, but I did not know 1 was beautiful. So I will make a bargain* with you. If ever I say one word in your praise you may come into the Cave.” “And if you say two words in my praise?” said the Cat. “I never shall,” said the Woman, “but if I say two words in your praise, you may sit by the fire in the Cave.” “And if you say three words?” said the Cat. “I never shall,” said the Woman, “but if I say three words in your praise, you may drink the warm white milk three times a day for always and always and always.” Then the Cat went away through the Wet Wild Woods waving his wild tail and walking by his wild lone. Text D “Ah,” said the Cat, “this is a clever Woman, but she is not so clever as I am.” And he went back through the Wet Wild Woods, waving his wild tail and walking by his wild lone. But he never told anybody. When the Man and the Dog came back from hunting, the Man said, “What is Wild Horse doing here?” And the Woman said, “His name is not Wild Horse any more, but the First Servant, because he will carry us from place to place for always and always and always. Ride on his back when you go hunting.” Text E Next day, the Cat waited to see if any other Wild thing would go up to the Cave, but no one moved in the Wet Wild Woods, so the Cat walked there by himself; and he saw the Woman milking the Cow, and he saw the light of the fire in the Cave, and he smelt the smell of the warm white milk. The Cat said, “O my Enemy and Wife of my Enemy, where did Wild Cow go?” The Woman laughed and said, “Wild Thing out of the Wild Woods, go back to the Woods again, we have no more need of either friends or servants in our Cave.” The Cat pretended to be sorry and said, “Must I never come into the Cave?

PART III The Cat went far, far away and hid himself in the Wet Wild Woods by his wUd lone for a long time till the Woman forgot all about him. Only the Bat that hung inside the Cave knew where the Cat hid; and, every evening, the Bat would fly to the Cat with news of what was happening. One evening the Bat said, “There is a Baby in the Cave. He is new and pink and fat and small, and the Woman is very fond of him.” “Ah,” said the Cat, listening, “but what is the Baby fond of?” “He is fond of things that are soft,” said the Bat. “He is fond of warm things to hold in his arms when he goes to sleep. He is fond of being played with. He is fond of all those things.” “Ah,” said the Cat, listening, “then my time has come.” Next morning, the Cat walked near the Cave till the Man and the Dog and the Horse went hunting. The Woman was busy cooking, and the Baby cried. So she gave him a toy to play with. But still the Baby cried. Then the Cat tickled the Baby under its chin with his tail. And the Baby laughed; and the Woman heard him and smiled. “A blessing on that Wild Thing whoever he may be,” said the Woman, “for I was busy this morning and he has done me a service.” That very minute and second the Cat was sitting inside the Cave. “O my Enemy and Wife of my Enemy and Mother of my Enemy,” said the Cat, “it is I: for you have spoken a word in my praise, and now I can sit within the Cave for always and always and always. But still I am the Cat who walks by himself, and all places are alike to me.” The Woman was very angry and shut her lips tight. “O my Enemy and Wife of my Enemy and Mother of my Enemy,” said the Cat, “I will show you a magic that shall make your Baby laugh as loudly as he is now crying.” “You will do so,” said the Woman, “but I will not thank you for it.” “Now,” said the Cat, “I will sing the Baby a song that shall keep him asleep for an hour. The Woman smiled and said, “That was wonderfully done. You are very clever, О Cat.” That very minute and second, the Cat was sitting quite close to the fire. Then the Woman was very angry but kept silence. Suddenly, a little mouse crept out of a corner and ran across the floor. “Oh!” said the Woman, and she jumped upon the footstool in front of the fire. “Ah,” said the Cat, watching, “then the mouse will do me no harm if I eat it?” “No,” said the Woman, “eat it quickly and I will ever be grateful to you.” The Cat made one jump and caught the little mouse, and the Woman said, “A hundred thanks. Even the First Friend is not quick enough to catch little mice as you have done. You must be very wise.” That very moment and second, the Cat was lapping up the warm white milk. “O my Enemy and Wife of my Enemy and Mother of my Enemy,” said the Cat, “it is I; for you have spoken three words in my praise, and now I can drink the warm white milk three times a day for always and always and always. But still I am the Cat who walks by himself, and all places are alike to me.” Then the Woman laughed and set the Cat a bowl of the warm white milk.

PART I Darr the dolphin lived in the clear blue waters of the Red Sea He was a very happy and playful dolphin, but he was also mischievous*. Darr loved to play tricks on the other creatures / that lived under the sea with him. One day, Aneesa, the octopus, was sorting out her yarn^ She had eight different colours of yarn on her eight different legs. It had taken her a long time to untangle^ them. Darr sneacked^ into Aneesa’s cave, swam right up behind her, and yelled^ “BOO!” She was so scared that she dropped all of the yarn and it fell into a big messy pile. In terror, she swam to the back of the cave to hide. Darr started to laugh. Aneesa saw that it was Darr who had scared her and that the eight colours of yarn were all mixed up into a tangled mess. “You’ll be sorry for this one day, Darr. Someday you’ll be in big trouble and I won’t help you!” she warned. mischievous [’mistfivas] — озорной, непослушный, вредный yarn [)шп] — нить, пряжа untangle [,лпЧаег)д1] — распутывать sneaked [sni:kt] — подкрался yelled [jel] — вопил, кричал и PART II A^nother time, Darr, the dolphin, swam into an oyster bed*. All of the oysters were sleeping, allowing time for their pearls to grow inside of them. Darr sneacked in quietly, gently opened each and every oyster, and took the pearls out. He switched them around and put different ones back into the wrong oysters. When he finished, he swam behind some coral to wait and watch. When Omar the oyster woke up and checked his precious pearl, he was sure that it wasn’t his. Amal the oyster did the same. Soon all the others were awake and checking their pearls, only to discover that none of them had their own. They began to get angry and started accusing^ each other of switching them, because theirs had been bigger and better. Darr couldn’t stand it any longer. He started laughing. The oysters stopped their arguing and looked angrily at Darr. Omar said, “One day, Darr, your dirty tricks will get you into big trouble.” Darr just laughed harder and harder and then swam _ | away. oyster bed ['oista] — устричная отмель accusing [a'kjuiziol — обвиняющий, осуждающий © PART III ne day Darr was swimming along quite merrily. He was thinking about all the funny tricks he had played on the others. He looked down at the seafloor and spotted Habib, the hermit crab*, sitting on a large rock, reading a book. Darr swam around, searching the sea bottom, and found a piece of fishing line. He bit some off, then sneaked up behind Habib and tied the line around his shell. Then he swam around the rock and went in front of him. What are you reading?” he asked the old hermit crab. “It’s called Moby Dicky'’ Habib answered. “Go away, young dolphin. You’re bothering me,” he continued. Darr teasingly- said, “No! I won’t go and you can’t make me!” Habib got very angry. “Why, you annoying pest\ I’ll show you that I can!” He moved to chase Darr off. When he jumped down off the rock to go after him, the fishing line pulled tightly and yanked"* Habib’s shell right off his back. Darr laughed hysterically. HA! HA! HA! hermit crab ['h3;mit ,kraebj — рак-отщельник ^ teasingly [tiizioli] — поддразнивал ^ pest Ipest] — неприятность, досада ■* yanked — порвалась 87 Habib looked back. “My shell! How will I ever get it back on? Гт too old for this. You are a bad dolphin. One day you’re going to get yourself into big trouble with all these dirty tricks. None of us will come to help you!” Habib was angrier than Darr had ever seen before. He started to laugh again, but stopped. It didn’t seem that funny anymore. But he still didn’t apologise, or even try to help Habib get his shell back on. Instead he just swam away. He did some other dirty tricks that day. He drew a bull’s-eye^ on Suhail, the starfish’s back. He put a clothespin on Ammar, the eel’s^ tail while he was sleeping. He even went so far as to put pink dye^ into Samir, the squid’s* ink. / ® bull’s-eye — мишень * eel [id] — угорь ^ dye [dai] — краска * squid [skwidj — кальмар I ^2jLook at the pictures.

He kept swimming along, thinking about his funny tricks. He didn’t see the net in front of him and swam right into it. His flippers* got caught. Darr began to struggle. The more he wiggled^, the more he got tangled. He began to squeaP. “Help me! Help me! I’m stuck! I got caught in a fishing net! Please, someone help me!” The oysters looked up from their bed and saw that Darr was stuck in the net. “Serves him right!” Omar cried out. “Leave him in there,” said Amal. The oysters ignored Darr’s cries for help. Aneesa the octopus had just untangled her yarn again. She had it all organised in her arms. She heard Darr crying out for help. “I’m not coming to help you, Darr,” she mumbled to herself. “You deserve it!” Ammar the eel, Suhail the starfish, and Samir the squid all heard the dolphin crying for help, but they didn’t care either. They’d all had enough of Darr’s dirty tricks. Habib the hermit crab had just gotten his shell back on when he heard Darr crying for help. “What’s that dirty-trick-playing-dolphin gotten himself into now? I warned him that he’d find trouble, and, well. I’m not going to help him.” Darr was terrified. He was getting very tired from all the wriggling about. “Please, help me someone, please. I promise that I’ll never do another dirty trick on anyone again.” Habib thought about it for a while. He swam up to Darr as he was hanging in the net. “Do you promise me that your trick-playing days are over forever?” he asked the dolphin. “I promise, Habib. I promise,” Darr assured him. “Well, you don’t deserve it, but I’ll help you,” Habib said. He swam around the net, took his sharp claws, and snipped'* it, freeing Darr. r- ‘ flippers I'flipaz] — плавники ^ wiggled [wigld] — извивался ^ squeal (skwi:l] — визжать, пронзительно кричать * snipped [snipt] — разрезал UNIT 4 Section 6 89 Habib and Darr swam down to the bottom of the sea. “I’m sorry, Habib. No more dirty tricks. I promise. Thanks for saving me,” Darr apologised. “Now, dolphin, you need to go and tell all the other sea creatures that you are sorry for what you did to them too. Then promise them that you’ll never do another dirty trick again,” Habib demanded of the dolphin. Darr agreed and spent the rest of the day swimming around the Red Sea, visiting the oysters and helping them sort out their pearls.
